`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. -The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll

The Fire In Me (A Leo Valdez Love Story)
NONE OF THE CHAPTERS IN THIS BOOK ARE PG-13! The settings for this book went psycho, but I promise you, this book is clean. I stared in amazement and horror, and then realized that the person-which, as I looked at him, was a boy-was extending his hand to lift me up. I took it thankfully. When I stood up, the world tipped to the left, and I stumbled. The boy caught me with strong hands. I looked at him and finally was able to look in on his features. The boy was only about 13 or 14. He had a shock of freckles, and a pointy nose, with rosy cheeks, and a mane of curly black hair. He had this quirky smile on his face, and his eyes glinted with mischief. He was dressed in a smithy outfit, complete with a tool belt, which had nothing in it. He also had some sturdy black boots. "You alright?" His voice was kind of squeaky, like he was just getting through puberty, right in the middle of high and low. "I'm fine," I replied, though he raised one of his eyebrows, pretty sure I was lying. I was of course. My favorite band had just turned into a couple of ugly, unearthly mermaids! My hands and legs trembled, and I almost fell over. I managed to stand, and asked, "What were those?" "Sirens. Probably why all the people in this room are asleep!" He grinned, like this was some kind of joke. I was not laughing. "Who are you?" I asked, not really wanting an answer, but it felt good to talk. "Oh! My apologies." He said it with a great bow. "Leo Valdez, engineer extraordinaire, son of Hephaestus." Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the awesome comments and for helping me reach over 25k reads! It is really a dream-come-true for me, I am so grateful for all your support.Complete

Poppy Playtime: Subject #1088; The Beast
Bio of the story: *inserts tape in the vhs player. TV comes on. Seeing a metallic arm with tubs filled with chemicals in the forearm on screen* "This is Dr. Corin 'Singed' Reveck. Beginning report for subject number one zero eight eight. The transformation is nearly complete. The effects have been.... gruesome. A creature of pure instinct. Efficient. Unstoppable. And yet, part of the human creature.... remains. End report." There was a kid near his teenage years named (Y/N) (L/N). An orphan who was not adopted by any parents who came by, all due to his build and intimatation he displayed. He was friends with the kids and the toys, like Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, The Smiling Critters, and more. One day, he was knocked unconscious and taken by Singed, a reacent hired scientist who planned to use him as a test subject for his transmutation formula. Right under the playtime factory's nose. He had a lab made for him after he took the job from day one. He told (Y/N) that he wanted to unleash his true nature, a deadly beast within a "good man." (Y/N) spent hours in agony while feeling every cut from Singed's scalpel, due to his belief that pain was the catalyst to the transformation, but the test subject also had the machinery to heal him by pumping chemicals in his veins. Warwick's hand was cut off and replaced by a large clawed hand, which Singed believed to show his true potential. Finally, a chemical chamber was attached to his back and nervous system, and the chemicals would unleash his feral instincts whenever he had strong emotions. (Y/N) eventually died from the pain, and Singed had to dispose of his body to his own disappointment. That's when the "Hour of Joy" began. However, death turned out to be the catalyst to fully completing the transformation, bringing him back to life as a savage wolf like creature dominated by primal instincts. He protects his friends, who he considers as family. League of Legends - Riot Games Poppy Playtime - Mob Entertainment
